lie llrSl VI lne games IN Une N0TUneaSu-
ern league series for the championship of
the State was played at Athletic Park yes
terday afternoon in the presence of large
audience and it was the most exciting
contest of the season. The visitors. won
the game during the first inning owing to
series of inexcusable blunders on the
part of the home team who were decided
lv ratified. Woodbury. led off at first by
muffing badly. Granville followed with
a high throw aud Hanrahan was badly
confused for moment while the bases
were full During the remainder of the
game, however, the Burlingtons partially
atoned for the first inning by shutting out
the visitors thereafter and securing three
runs in the fourth inning and two in the
eighth, but not sufficiently to win. Many
of the supporters of the home team had
been hoping that change would not be
necessary on fir5t but the result yester-
day dissipated all hopes in that direction.
This for many reasons is generally re
GREETED but sentiment must give way in a
matter of business where the question of
support is at stake. The Rutlands played
an errorless game, but the result after the
contest had settled down to business
strengthened the faith of the Burling-
tonians in the ability of their team u
stand up with the visitors as at present
| constituted, but whether the "sluggers''
said to be in prospect at Rutland in the
next game will prove more than a match
for them remains to be seen. The play
